Ingredients and items you will need:8 oz. foaming hand soap bottle (I love to re-use Thieves foaming hand soap bottles or others that I already have)2 tbsp liquid castile soap (I use Dr. Bronner's and you can find on Amazon or at Marlene's in Federal Way)2 tsp vegetable glycerin (can find on Amazon)10-20 drops your choice of essential oils (we recommend Young Living because of their quality and Seed to Seal guarantee - purchase here www.ufloat.org/essential-oils.html)Purified Water

Mosquitoes are out in full force already this year! They LOVE me and seek me out even inside the house WHILE wearing long pants. It's ridiculous. I really hate the idea of spraying toxic chemicals all over and try to stay away from commercial bug sprays. I decided to research and make my own using non-toxic ingredients. Here is a great recipe from wellnessmama.com:Homemade Bug Spray Ingredients

Fill spray bottle (8 ounce) 1/2 full with distilled or boiled water (Lisa McGraw recommends using glass or metal bottles whenever using essential oils as plastic tends to break down and leach out into the oils, bleh)

Add witch hazel to fill almost to the top

Add 1/2 tsp vegetable glycerin if using

Add 30-50 drops of essential oils to desired scent. The more oils you use, the stronger the spray will be. A favorite mix is: Rosemary, Clove, Lavender, Cinnamon and Eucalyptus. It works great and smells good too!

​We started using Young Living essential oils in September of 2015 and have enjoyed the journey of learning about all the wellness benefits and uses of these powerful oils. We would love to share some our tips and recipes for homemade wellness and cleaning products with you.
